A Stronger America The theme of an annual meeting of a chain store association was expressed in this phrase: "Building a Stronger America Through Better Living At Lower Cost." That is much more than a felicitous combination of words. The chain retail stores have no monopoly on good service to the public-every kind of retailer has contributed in full measure to that end. But the chains were pioneers in developing the techniques of mass distribution that have done so much to better the living standards of everyone. The chains' basic method of operation seems logical and commonplace now, but it was revolutionary when it was inaugurated not so many years ago. Essentially it was simple. If prices were reduced to the absolute bottom, these pioneers figured, volume of sales would greatly increase. And then a satisfactory total profit would result, even though the individual profit on each sale was extremely small. Today, as a general rule, retail profits on each dollar taken in are smaller than ever. And, despite the inflation, people of average income are able to buy more and better goods. It is to the credit of the independent stores that they kept right up with the parade-they adapted the chain idea to their own operations with outstanding success, and they and their customers. That's proof of the fact that in a free competitive economy, there's plenty of room for every kind and size of store. HEADLINES & BYLINES BY SILAS P. WASHINGTON The headline, 88 "Year-Old Adds Old Bell to Exhibit at MSP Party," with, the accompanying picture in Saturday's PRESS SCIMITAR attracted my attention. Upon observing a little more closely, I saw that the picture was that of my good friend, Mr. J. K. Fields, night watchman at LeMoyne College, and that the article was about the house of the Memphis Street Railway Company. The first time I saw Mr. Field to know him was just after his be ginning at LeMoyne in 1923. He used to come by the physics laboratory when I would be there working late some night. He would watch me work, look over some of the equipment and tell me about the days when he was an engineer. I wondered a little at first about some of his statements. However, I was very much impressed as he explained how he used to set valves and make other adjustments on the different types of engines; for he used the terms correctly and talked knowingly about steam boilers and engines. Now, I see further evidence of the truth of his assertions The PRESS SCIMITAR article says "He has lived in Memphis since 1888 and worked in the power house at Broadway and Davey for the company which preceded the Memphis Street Railway Company. As I recall, he claimed that the fact that he was a colored man had most to do with him leaving that kind of work. Judging from my own personal experience along that line, his contention is not hard to understand. I shall be glad indeed when this land of ours will really give the Negro half a break on better industrial opportunities, When the powers that be become convinced that it is as much to their advantage as it is to the Negro, they may change their tactics. Mean while, the colored man and the com munity will certainly suffer for the discriminations against the Negro. Going back to Mr. Fields, I remember him telling me that he wanted me to see some of his books on engines. I told him that I Would be glad to look them over. Later on, he brought his books to the laboratory. I examined them and found them very interesting. As he talked to me about his past ex periences, he seemed as if he was reliving them. Whether he realized it or not, was mast sympathetic. As I have said, I become acquaint ed with Mr. Fields when he became the night watchman at LeMoyne Previously, there had been many undesirable happenings and trespassing on the campus after the night fall. He related to me more than once how Mr. Sweeney Wanted such a fine place there for the colored people. And it seemed to be an obsession with Mr. Fields to help make it so. Consequently he worked very hard to improve conditions. In the process, he cracked a jaw or two with his night stick and pulled his gun on several unruly ones. In the end, he built up such reputation that outsiders became afraid to be seen on the campus unless they had some real business there. Also he kept close watch on the library nights and saw that Miss Meacham and the other lady staff members on the campus reached home safely. In addition, Mr Fields still cherishes Mr. Sweeney's memory and still hears from him. Also, he heard from Mr. Brownlee when he was abroad: And finally, LeMoyne has none more loyal to her than Mr. Fields. Judging from the way he talks to me, when he sees me, I get the idea that the LeMoyne family and those grounds there are just about his life. I admire him for that, and wish him all of the joy and contentment possible in his remaining years. Back For Annual Journalist, L. O. Swingler. He spoke on the subject, "The Negro Heritage." In Dayton Mr. Dickerson is a newspaper correspondent and serves as president of the Dayton. Branch of the National Alliance of Postal Employees. In the latter capacity he has traveled extensively in the Middlewest. Nothing the many significant changes for the better in race relations since he left Memphis ten years ago, Mr. Dickerson cautioned his listeners not to let up in their efforts to secure full citizenship. "You must do this by thinking upon your responsibilities, and then doing soemthing about it," the visitor said. "One way to do some thing about it is to register and vote." THE HEALTH FORUM WORLD By R. EARL BLAND. M. D. Not all diseases are treated with pills or capsules. There is nothing like exercise, for example, to strengthen a weakened arm or leg or a soothing bath to ease tired and weary, muscles. Many like to tap dance, square dance, play golf, badmington and swim. Most exercises and remedies of this nature are simple and accessible. A physician I know in New York City who is recovering from apolexy finds that the best exercises for his paralyzed extremities are those associated with everyday exercise and activities. Lacing the shoes, opening and closing a book, eating with a knife and fork, writing and working in the garden, fills the bill. The involved leg is aided by walking, swinging the limb and wiggling the toes. When considering treatments of this kind, music must be included for its psychological value. Some members have a soothing effect upon the tense and excited: others stimulate the depressed Music can be used also to enhance the benefits, of exercise. Keeping time with the weakened extremities will encourage the return of strength and coordination. It is not difficult to do with the hands or fingers while resting the arm on a table or to keep time with the feet while silting in a chair. Dancing was a common remedy among the primitive peoples. It is difficult to be emotionally tense and rhythmic, at the same time organizations for the blind and deaf arrange weekly dances for men and women handicapped in this fashion. The good that results from these affairs hardly can be measured. The punching bag has been suggested for arms and shoulders that have weakened as a result of paralysis, injury arthritis, to improve endurance, strength, and coordination, and to relieve the monotony of the more usual forms of exercise. This punching bag should be reserved for final touches as it is too difficult to manage early in the period of recuperation. Hydrotherapy is utilized to. strengthen weakened muscles and limber stiff joints. Moving arms and legs under water have many desirable features. Buoyancy overcomes the effect of gravity and makes it easier to raise and lower the limbs. In addition, water offers resistance which is helpful later during the course of treatments of orthopepdic cases, its use in polio bears this out. The ability to move freely and voluntarily is of psychological benefit. Furthermore, hydrotherapy is employed in some mental disorders. N. W. Writes: My husband insists upon feeding our youngsters candy even though his appetite is poor and he hardly eats anything at the table, can you advise. Reply: Candy should not be given within two hours before a meal, but otherwise there is no reason why it cannot be eaten. Mrs. Y. Writes: Is there any harm in becoming pregnant after teeth are removed? Reply: None whatsoever. When a baby is born toothless, don't blame heredity.

The World Health Forum Scott News Syndicate 164 Beale Avenue Memphis, Tennessee MART OF THOUGHT Each morning in the hurry-scurry of getting ready for work, I like to have the radio on. I never really listen to it but the tempo of the music carries me along at a rapid gait. Yet when I hear that familiar honking and realize that everyone is in the car but me, I am seldom ready. It is in the last mad dash for the door that I become mindful of one song that I and becomes my humming tune for the day. Yesterday it was "The September Song," especially that part that goes like this "For its a long, long while from May to December." Lovely, lovely mood music,, you Know. But the months between May and December are passing too quickly this year. It seems that only yesterday the farmers were turning the fresh brown earth, the children were flying kites, baby chicks were followed by mother, about the barnyard and I was formulating such wonderful plans for the year. All too soon Autumn has come. There is a Chill in the air, the leaves are turning brown under the brush of the Master Artist and I have left undone many, many things that I ought to have done. Our lives are like that; our entire life span is almost gone before we have a chance to see the fulfillment of our dreams, if then. In Spring we are full of ambition. Summer—when our plans do not materialize as quickly as we expect, there is bewilderment and we sometimes lose our way. Autumn finds us on the right track but late. Consequently, we must do in the twilight of our lives what should have been done in the natural process of the useful years. When Autumn comes there is no time for procrastination, every day is important if the stare-houses are to be filled when Winter comes. Banker Praises NNBL For Nat'l Headquarters In a visit to the national headquarters of the National Negro Business League, Mr E. C. Wright, President of the Citizens and Southern Bank of Philadelphia Pa., said "This move by the League to set up national headquarters is very timely We need an organization, located in the capital of our nation which will enable the Negro business man to keep up with the movements of our government along the lines of defense production. It has been reported that during the next three years our government will spend 50 billions a year for defense purposes. This means that our country will have to depend upon the full participation of both big business and small business. In order to be able to fully participate in any phase of our American, economy, it is necessary to know the fundamentals of business —finance, management, manufacturing production distribution and consumption. I feel the League can help our business men to develop more in these areas. Billions of dollars in securities and bonds are on the New York Stock Market practically every day yet none of the securities are issued, by Negro companies. Our insurance and banks throughout the nation are doing a remarkable job with the funds they have entrusted to their use. But these funds are so limited, they do not even make an indentation in our economic structure. It is therefore, important that we develop, the know-how in finance. The most important phases of our economic development are centered around capital funds. It is also important that we conduct a vigorous campaign on thrift to encourage our people to build more financial institutions, and to make the existing ones larger, thus freeing additional capital for business loans home improvement loans, construction loans, mortgage loans etc. The forthcoming convention of the League in Washington, D. C., October 10, 11 12, is of great importance since we will set forth a progressive program to emanate from our newly established headquarters. WHY Do Your Friends Trade Here? 194 E. CALHOUN ACROSS FROM UNION STATION MOMENTS OF REFLECTION A. L. GUERARD Some persons with whom you talk leave you dejected, dull and discouraged. On the other hand, there are those with whom you talk, leave you lighthearted, gay and vibrant with enthusiasm. I met and talked with such persons today the life of which doesn't happen very often. As old time is, we have not learned to speak well of one another. To do so, is to speak well of one's self. Remember, you may fly high today, but tomorrow the ground may be your pillar. It it is God in whom we trust then money should not claim first place in our lives as on most cases it does. There are too many playboys in the pulpit that should be on the stage: God does not need actors, he wants men! (God fearing) Jesus said, "Feed my lambs," not entertain people. You wonder sometimes as to what is to become of the church. Take a good look at yourself and ask the question: What am I doing to improve my church? Do you believe everything that you hear, without first considering the source whence it comes? REFLECTIONS A. L. GUERARD Some persons with whom you talk leave you dejected, dull and discouraged.

He said that Memphis like Los Angeles possessed an expansive area which allows for great development in homes without crowding. Although he lived in Memphis for only a brief period, during 1931 and 1932, Mr. Kelly stated that he was impressed with the Negro's desire to own a piece of property. "You have great equity in your community when you make heavy investments in property of your com munity," he said.
